SEPTEMBER FAVOURITES

September is my favourite month of the year and not only because it’s my birthday month, but also because it’s when the weather is still nice but start to be crispy and chillier, not to mention I love when autumn starts to be around. It literally flew by, I can’t believe it’s already monthly favourites time, but I’m pretty excited for October to come around to be honest, and to see the leaves changing their colours, ahh beautiful autumn! But back to my September favourites, I love when the weather changes and you get to wear, try, do and love new things, so here is what I’ve loved this past month…

BEAUTY & CO.

I haven’t use an electric toothbrush since when I had braces when I was 9, but then my boyfriend gave this Braun Oral-B Vitality White + Clean Rechargeable Toothbrush to me as birthday present and it was eye opening. I can’t believe I have used classic toothbrushes for so long, I find it so strange now to use one and I couldn’t be happier with my new electric friend!

As the weather gets chillier, chapped lips are always around and this is the reason why I’ve been using three different lipbalms at once! The Nuxe Reve De Miel Lipbalm is my all time favourite, I love the soft buttery consistence that glides on super nicely, and I’m in love with the scent which better than honey actually reminds me a piece of lemon and almond cake, delicious! It is my night and home choice, while for the day or handbag I’m loving the Sweet Cecily’s lipbalms in the flavours Pina Colada* and Espresso Martini* – they both smell ahh-mazing, expecially the Espresso Martini which is coffee in a lipbalm form and I love the scent of coffee, one of my favourite thing! These apply super easy even directly from the pot which makes them perfect for on the go, plus they’re very hydrating and bring a huge relief to chapped lips.

I’ve not been so good with eye creams this summer, but I’m trying and getting better as the weather gets colder, and the Caudalie Pulpe Vitaminee Eye Cream is being so good at keeping my eye area hydrated, soft and bright. Also, being that I have been spending two or more days away from home pretty often, a bestfriend of mine and my oily hair has been the Batiste Dry Shampoo in the tiny cute travel bottle that is perfect for my small makeup/beauty bag I always carry with me. My hair starts feeling (but not always looking) greasy on the second day and that’s one of the worst feeling in my opinion, so this is a must-have for rebusting my hair and giving it some healthy volume and banishing oil.

Lastly I’ve been enjoying the & Other Stories Lengthening Mascara on the makeup-front; it was such an impulsive purchase, I didn’t even need a new mascara but it was discounted during Milan’s Vogue Fashion Night Out and all the proceeds went to charity, so there was no excuse! I pretty like it as an everyday option to all my other mascaras which are always waterproof and something I might don’t always want to wear just to go out for an hour or two. It’s very black, very nice and make my eyelashes look longer, which is all I ask!

STYLE

I’ve recently had a huge wardrobe clear-out (these things don’t happen very often around here, oops!) and this time I was pretty severe on what to keep and what to give away so I’ve been left with a very poor wardrobe especially for the new season. This means I’ve been (and still am) on the hunt for new autumnal and transitional pieces and I might have fallen in love with a few during the process. This ASOS Denim Button Through Smock Dress just looks so lovely and pairs amazing with any other piece in my wardrobe really, plus it makes for a good transitional dress as it’s perfect for warmer days just by itself, but nice to be layered on chillier days with thigts and boots or cute autumnal shoes. I’ve also got this beautiful 3/4-lenght sleeves H&M Sweatshirt for my birthday and I love it! The colours are so pretty and the fabric is super soft, it made for the perfect top for this in-between September weather. Lastly I was looking for a new tan satchel for a while and I think I’ve finally found the one: I have been carrying my ASOS Scallop Stitch Satchel Bag since when I got it this month and it fits all I need for my day trips to Milan as well as any quicker occasion – and it also fits camera + lens which means I can snap even more!

LIFE & FOOD

It’s finally tea, chai latte and warm drinks time! I’m excited. In september I’ve been drinking the Clipper Tea Organic Zen Again Infusion which taste and smell very fresh and relaxing with its lemongrass, eucalyptus and ginkgo infusion. It’s the perfect pre-yoga session tea and it seriously warms up my heart a little everytime! Talking of ravishing scents, I must mention the Yankee Candle Vanilla Lime Scented Sachet which is living in my wardrobe lately making it smell sooo nice! Best thing ever for a vanilla lover! Lastly, you realize you’re with the right boy when he gives you a super cute Panda Foldable Bag (similar here) and you probably know I love packable shoppers as well as pandas, so this was just the perfect cutest combo!
